NEW YORK (PIX11) – We've all probably been guilty of bad behavior while dining out at some point, but have you made the worst mistakes?
A poll from YouGov.com asked Americans: which restaurant behaviors are the worst?
Eight in 10 Americans said one of the biggest pet peeves is refusing to pay for a meal you ate but didn't like, according to the poll. Another behavior Americans said they despise is letting kids roam freely throughout the restaurant.
Other nuisances Americans found annoying include debating menu prices, staying past closing time and snapping fingers at waiters.
Most Americans weren't bothered by people taking pictures of their food, asking for modifications to a dish or sending back food that wasn't prepared properly.
Only 31% of people said leaving no tip for poor service was unacceptable.
